Fairly
Traded Coffee Celebration
We
did it! Together, we exceeded our goal of purchasing 90 tons of 100
percent fairly traded coffee. In fact, we surpassed our goal by nine
tons. "Pour Justice to the Brim: The 90-Ton Challenge" was
unveiled in the October 2003 issue of Lutheran Woman Today. In the
previous year, Lutherans purchased more than 45 tons of 100 percent
fairly traded coffee through the Lutheran
World Relief Coffee Project. Women of the ELCA, Lutheran
World Relief, and Equal
Exchange joined in challenging Lutheran women to double that
amount in a similar twelve-month period.
A
coffee litany
In December, Lutheran Woman Today will recap the 90-Ton Challenge in a
six-page set of articles. One special feature in that issue is a coffee
litany written by Rev. Barbara Lund, program director for East Asia in
the ELCA Division for Global Mission, to celebrate the successful
results of the Challenge.
Women
of the ELCA has made this litany available on their website
– and can be downloaded by clicking HERE.
- so that we can celebrate together.
